Hello! I’m Tanja, a licensed local tourist guide based in Maribor, in the heart of Slovenia’s beautiful Styria region.
For me, guiding is much more than showing visitors monuments and explaining dates.I love bringing places to life through their stories, people, traditions and little details that are easy to miss when travelling on your own.
I specialise in Maribor, Ptuj and the wider Styria region, an area I know very well and genuinely enjoy sharing with visitors.From the historic streets and wine culture of Maribor to ancient Ptuj, Slovenia’s oldest town, I combine history, local stories, culture, gastronomy and everyday life to give my guests a deeper understanding of the places they visit.
My professional background is in tourism and education, and I also teach foreign languages and tourism-related subjects.This experience has taught me how to communicate clearly, adapt to different audiences and make even complex historical topics interesting and easy to understand.
I particularly enjoy working with Spanish-speaking visitors, but I also guide international guests in German, English and Slovenian.
My tours are friendly, informative and flexible.I prefer smaller groups and a personal approach, where there is always time for questions, conversation and spontaneous discoveries along the way.Whether you have only a few hours in Maribor or Ptuj or would like to explore Styria in greater depth, I can adapt the experience to your interests and available time.
If you want to discover the stories behind the sights and experience this part of Slovenia through the eyes of a local, I’ll be happy to welcome you to Styria.
